Recently I have been unable to link very large libraries, in particular libgcj (from gcc-4.5.x) and libQtWebKit (from qt4):
collect2: ld terminated with signal 1 [Hangup] 2 [main] ld 5544 C:\cygwin17\usr\i686-pc-cygwin\bin\ld.exe: *** fatal error - cmalloc would have returned NULL This occurs with recent snapshots, and with both binutils 2.20.51-2 and a self-built 2.21. I was able to successfully build gcc-4.5.1 shortly before 03 October; I last build Qt4 in June. I have found that this is triggered by the creation of an import library through the -Wl,--out-implib, flag. The same link commands, minus the -Wl,--out-implib, succeed. Please let me know what further information I can provide.
